Tombstone is good, very good. Just not the best good.

Because of this thread I bought Lonesome Dove on Blu-ray off Amazon and watched it in a few nights after my wife and toddler went to sleep. You guys were right, it was amazing.

This.

3:10 to Yuma is one of my favorites.  (the newer one)

I loved John Wayne, but that was one of the worst movies ever.

One Hollywood cliche after another. Scripted dialogue was dull and predictable.

Tried to be hip about being hip when Hollywood was incapable of being hip.

Artificial lighting was artificial.

James Caan sucked.

There were hundreds of westerns better than this.

Shane

Which cowboy in that movie is your favorite?

Not quite . Actually central Mohawk Valley and eastern Champlain and Hudson Valley is where the history took place . I believe N. Carolina is where is was filmed .
My list would be  Shane
                        It's a Big Country
                        Hang 'em High
                        (the new ) True Grit ( yes ,Hailey carries that film w/ some of J. Bridges help )
                        lonesome dove
                       Cimmaron
                        The Virginian
                        Saddle Tramp
                        Fort Dobbs
                        Colorado Territory
                        Tin Star
                        The Man with the Gun
                        Return of the Gunfighter
                        The Man From Laramie
                        Last Train from Gun Hill
                        Tall in the Saddle
                        The Searchers
                        Pale Rider
                        Law and Order /Ronald Reagan , Russell Johnson , Dorothy Malone
                        etc. . . .

He’s right you know.

How exactly is a movie set in the 1750s in New York during the French & Indian War a "cowboy movie?"
